Slua Repl

Features

Slua Repl is aimed to provide an alternative to the @philanc/slua shell, which uses simplified linenoise to replace readline. Based on Resty Repl, it also preserves some APIs from Resty Repl, but only supports linux. Many features come from Resty Repl, including:

• Pretty print for object
• A Powerful and flexible command system
• Ability to view and replay history
• Ability to see a context and source of the place in code from where repl was started
• Tab completion

Additional features (for slua 5.4 & lua with simplified linenoise):

• Tab completion
• Single line editing
• Save, load, view and replay history
• Portable REPL
• Add support for Lua 5.2+
